51 million mobile payment users expected in Europe, 2016

Europe lags behind with just 51 million mobile payment users expected in 2016. However – that may change in the future as there is lots of potential. For example Iconiq, an investment fund described as “Zuck and friends” backed Dutch payments company Adyen this year.

Adyen alone is expected to process roughly $45 billion this year, so there is still hope for the old continent.

Meanwhile tech giants such as Apple or Google are engaging one another for the mobile payments market, a seemingly enchanted land in the world of future finance.
